In celebration of her fur child Finn’s fifth birthday in June, Lesa-Mare Harris has relaunched his charity drive to help his furry friends.

This is the third year she and Finn are running this project and they are excited to do so from May through to the end of June.

“Last year we managed to gather donations that amounted to 338.25kg dog food, 25kg cat food, 53 tinned food, 48 blankets, 27 dog bowls, 16 pet food sachets, 2 dog beds, 4 leashes, 3l pet shampoo and monetary donations amounting to R2500 which was donated to the spaying of animals. This year we are aiming even higher,” said Harris.

“Finn was adopted during lockdown and has filled my heart. Finn is my best friend, travel buddy and fur child. He is more of a friend than a pet and offers endless love and wagging tail vibes to all who visit. So now I want to give back to community projects that help animals and are currently suffering under financial strain.”

During the months of May and June, they are collecting dog and cat food, as well as blankets and anything else a pet may need. These donations will be distributed to various shelters and organisations that foster, house and look after strays and homeless pets in and around the Gqeberha area.
